That was Dorman's Contour fans, 620-104

Have you considered Contour fans? I don't know the width of your radiator. Electric fans and shroud recommendations

Anyone have real world experience with the Mercedes c class monster fan pulse width modulated on a 26in radiator compared to the ford contour two speed dual fans?

...Electric Fans | Summit Racing Plus then you can use the wiring diagram that @goldduster318 wrote up. His 340 makes 470 hp and the contour fans work on his car. They fit a 26” radiator too. My install is here My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head His PDF...

I reached out to Mr. Paris at Dorman again to confirm that he has looked at the correct model for the specs, since as 72bluNblu pointed out that both fans should have the same speed, and that each has a low and high, and this was his reply: "That is what our drawing calls out, Have a good...

It’s just the OE dual electric fans from a 1995-2000 Ford Contour v6. Same fans and install information I posted above in post 14. Tried and true, OE designed electric fans designed to last 100k miles plus. And yeah, $150 for a 2 speed, dual electric fan set up that flows ~3000 CFM on low...

Okay, this settles it! Thanks for the PDF as well, it makes things super clear. Ford fans, for the win. :) Thanks, everyone!

Just out of curiosity, do you know if your fans are turning off when you are at speed? Have you ever tried running at speed with the fans disconnected? That would ease my mind that the fan housing / shroud is not restricting flow.

Is that for the Contour fans or the VW? The Contour fans are the same left/right and should have 2 ratings per side since there's a low and high speed.

That was my first choice based on what I've seen here, but those cars are nowhere to be found in local yards, and since I'm just toying of the idea to use electric fans I don't really want to spend "new price money" for one. I have a clutch fan I picked up for a song, but finding a 26" shroud is...

...I'm not sure about the speeds, to be honest, I was just intrigued at the chance to get a set of fans that would be close in size to the 26" radiator for only $40 (I talked him down a bit). I guess the Contour fans are equal in size instead of staggered, though... The Contour fans for...

I just contacted Dorman after seeing a negative review on YouTube from one of the Mustang guys, and the specs from Dorman tech Nicholas Paris are: The Left side fan is 1007 cfm The right is 1114cfm They both draw 5.8amp each Looks to be 1 amp rating _______________________________ So it...

^^^I'm sure it does. I was just offering another data point. BTW...I also think the Ford Contour electric fans would be better than mine IF you have a 26" radiator. FWIW...!!

...literally no way that would work. It’s even a 22” radiator. I think when I bought my Champion 26” 3 core, the Dorman knock off of the Contour fans, and my fancy digital fan controller I was in it for under $600. The fans are still only $143. There are a lot of really expensive electric fans...

...There are a lot of really expensive fans that don’t flow 2,500+ CFM, which means they won’t be up to the task of keeping one of these cars cool as a standalone fan. The Ford Contour fans can be bought for under $150, and with the proper relays and controller are more than capable of doing...

Excellent point. I actually worded that poorly. Thanks for pointing that out. Here is what really happened. About 20 years ago I needed a new radiator. After a lot of research, I went with a Griffin Radiator. The salesman talked me into their custom built fan/shroud setup also. It was rather...

I have never used them but in the thread there are posts stating how good they work. For example. IDK

Sorry, but I have to ask what you mean by Contour fans?

Unfortunately, none of it is in use yet but as recommended by a few members the contour fans, 26 in b-body cold case radiator, 440 source aluminum w/p housing and pump. Someday, someday....

Can these contour fans be placed in front of the radiator and used as a pusher? I need a real good electric fan setup in front of the radiator. My 671 blower belt/and pulleys won’t allow anything in front of it as far as fans go. There’s just no room. I got 2” to play with. Lol. So in front of...

That is also my experience with my 451 (26" 3-row aluminum radiator and Contour fans with an Autocoolguy PWM controller). It will idle in 95F traffic or standstill and maintain 183 all day. But at 65 mph (3300 rpm) it very slowly creeps up to 198 over about 20-30 minutes. If I hold it down to...

And people jump all over it since it's a name brand and they "think" it'll work. That's almost theft.

No. Not unless you’re planning on removing them from their full shroud and custom mounting them. This is the complete Contour fan set up, it's all integrated. Mounting it as a pusher would mean the shroud would block a significant amount of the incoming air.

...much tighter and modern grilles are frequently smaller, so, the fan requirements are typically higher for a modern engine even if the displacement is much smalller. The Ford Contour fans are a good example, they’re for a 2.5l V6. But I’ve never had an issue with them cooling my 400+ hp 5.6l...

Curious what everyone is running as well as clearance w/ mechanical water pump and overall performance. I’m thinking of going with the Champion 26” 3 row w/fans and shroud but need to dig deeper into depth of the assembly (engine is not in car yet). Champion-CC374B-374FS12SP But I also see a...

I have a Champion 26" radiator, Ford Contour fans with a Dakota Digital controller on my 414 small block Duster. One comes on with the key, the other comes on at a set temperature. Can't remember what temp though. Stays below 200. Bought the fans thru Rock Auto.

'97-00 Ford Contour factory dual speed, dual electric fans Install is in my build thread on page 3 here My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head

I actually ordered the Contour fans, a BeCool set, a Dorman set, and a Jeg's set. I tried them all for fitment to the rad. The best was the Jeg's #555-52115 which are actually Maradyne fans. It really covers a lot of the rad surface area and has the little rubber flaps where it doesn't to...

I’ve tried the Contour fans, a large Derale electric fan and ultimately I went mechanical on mine. The electric fans worked ok. The Contour fans blocked airflow on the freeway so she ran a little warmer than I was comfortable with on the longer runs in the summer. The single fan didn’t cover...

did you have to make any mods to get the 26'' rad in?
